Colour: The wine has a very deep purple colour with a slightly violet tint.

Nose: A concentrated, packed nose which opens on aromas of garrigue, blackcurrant and cedarwood, accompanied by fine vanilla and toasted notes.

Palate: The palate is full-bodied, on slightly milky red fruit flavours underpinned by supple, close-knit tannins. An attractive freshness accompanies a long and well-balanced finish, enhanced by notes of elegant oak and mocha.

Red meat (roast beef, beef stew, lamb stew), cheeses (sharp and aged cheddar, blue cheese).
